  • Following His Spell in Formula 1, Tiago Monteiro Has Continued to Enjoy Speed, at the Wheel of the Car Brought to You Now by SCX®
    Following his spell in Formula 1, Tiago Monteiro has continued to enjoy speed, at the wheel of the car brought to you now by SCX® SCX® PRESENTS THE AUTHENTIC SEAT LEÓN WTCC 2007 With all the aggression of the street model, this SEAT León stands out for its eye-catching colour scheme and wealth of detail SCX® launches the SEAT León WTCC 2007, a hyper-competitive car with which the Spanish maker hopes to dominate the World Championship, and the one chosen by Tiago Monteiro after his spell in Formula 1. This SEAT León stands out for its aggressive image, with a front end featuring an air intake at the bottom, surrounded by logos, which is even more striking in this case because of its eye- catching colour scheme in which yellow and blue predominate. This WTCC model now released by SCX® keeps the five doors of the city car and makes the nationality of its Portuguese driver very clear with the use of two brands from his country, tmn and Turismo de Portugal. Just who is behind the wheel of this SEAT León is also revealed by the name printed both on the rear side window underneath a Portuguese flag and on the windscreen under the large WTCC website logo. Nobody can miss the grey wheels with tyres decorated with logos, or the white rear view mirrors with red lettering. The small horizontal window at the back of the car also features the championship website and the name of the driver, Tiago Monteiro. Lower down are the usual twin exhaust pipes which, together with the sports spoiler featuring the driver's website and the other logos around the locks on the back, give the rear of the car as savage a look as the front.

  • Canadian Mine Accused of Causing Skin Infections
    Fuente: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/7934513.stm Por el link: http://www.business-humanrights.org Canadian mine accused of causing skin infections By Bill Law Reporter, Radio 4 Crossing Continents The photographs are disturbing, Mayans young and old covered in blisters and welts. Anti-mining activists say the rashes result from water polluted by a giant open-pit gold mine located in the Western Highlands of Guatemala. Marlin Mine is owned and operated by a large Canadian corporation called Goldcorp. The company strongly denies any link between their operation - which in a hot gold market is running 24 hours a day, seven days a week - and the ill health of the Mayans. Responding to the charge, the company said in a statement: "Comprehensive sampling conducted by the technical staff of the Public Ministry in Guatemala as well as by the Marlin environmental department has confirmed that river water quality is not adversely impacted by mine operations." RADIO 4: CROSSING CONTINENTS Bill Brassington heads a Canadian union pension fund that invests in Goldcorp and has seen the pictures taken by a North American non- governmental organisation called Rights Action. He points out that Rights Action has no medical evidence to support its claims. Still, as an ethical investor he is worried. Assessing Impact Besides the rashes, Goldcorp has been accused by some Guatemalan campaign groups and NGOs of unfair land purchase practices, human rights Unease over Guatemalan gold rush violations and environmental damage to the area surrounding the mine. Critics also say the company is taking huge amounts of profit out of impoverished indigenous communities and putting very little back in.

  • Media Information
    PR Document 2020 Japanese Super Formula Championship Series Media Information August 27 2020 1 Super Formula : Then and Now In the 1950s, the Fédération Internationale de I’Automobile (FIA) launched the Drivers’ Championship to find the world’s fastest formula car drivers the purest form of racing machine. That ethos was passed on to all FIA national member organizations.Top-level formula motor racing has been held in Japan in various forms since 1973, when Formula 2000 was first launched. The competition evolved into Formula Two in 1978 and then Formula 3000 in 1987. Japan Race Promotion, Inc. (JRP) was established in 1995 and continued carrying the competition torch in 1996 under the name of Formula Nippon. In 2013, the name of the competition was changed again to Japanese Championship Super Formula and a bold plan was implemented to upgrade the race cars and lift the profile of the competition with the clear aim of spreading the appeal of Super Formula from Japan to other parts of Asia. Another hope was to turn the series into a third great open-wheel racing competition to go along with Formula One and IndyCar. The competition’s name was changed again in 2016 to Japanese Super Formula Championship. In 2017, BS Fuji began broadcasting live Super Formula races, giving many motorsport fans the chance to watch championship races on free-to-air television. In the early days, formula racing in Japan was led by top drivers such as Kunimitsu Takahashi, Kazuyoshi Hoshino and Satoru Nakajima, who later competed on the global stage in Formula One.
